Title: Thre-dimensional interactive display system
IPC: G03B35/20
Filed: 2012-01-03
Abstract: An interactive three-dimensional display comprising blocks, cameras, and a computer system to display an interactive 3D image. An array of blocks may display a matrix of two-dimensional images into a virtual space so that a 3D stereoscopic image is viewable in a viewing angle sweet spot. The system may be autostereoscopic so no polarisation glasses, shutter glasses or other wearable aids are required. Aberration may be minimised by splitting the image into single pixels or small blocks of pixels. The blocks may be movable in both the horizontal and vertical planes to create a seamless stereoscopic image. Background and foreground images may also be displayed within the virtual space and relatively positioned using a plurality of zoom lenses, which may be liquid zoom lenses. Negative distortion may automatically correct for positive distortion produces by the zoom lenses and vice-versa. The camera may record and analyse a users    actions and part of the image may react to user movement, such as finger control of a floating 3D mobile phone keypad.

Title: Process for the automatic generation and correction of the cut-off voltage of an electron gun and apparatus for carrying out this process
Inventor: LAVIGNE ANDRE
IPC: H04N5/16
Filed: 1980-07-04
Granted: 1983-11-24
Abstract: The blocking voltage of an electron gun is corrected by periodically removing an input video signal and driving a cathode with a DC stabilizing voltage. A pulse perturbation is impressed upon a control grid and the cathode momentarily conducts more heavily to exceed a predetermined threshold corresponding to the limit of a black CRT picture. A feedback loop detects a response signal from the perturbation of cathode current and stores the response signal in a memory, the latter determining the corrected blocking voltage during normal operation of the gun.

Title: Vehicle frame and body alignment apparatus
Inventor: ECK LEONARD F
IPC: G01B11/26
Filed: 1981-03-27
Granted: 1984-07-12
Abstract: An alignment checking and measuring apparatus for vehicle frame and body portions includes two or more measurement scale carriers which have connectors on opposite end portions thereof for attachment transversely to the vehicle. One of the measurement scale carriers has targets movably mounted on the end portions and another of the measurement scale carriers has sighting instruments, such as laser beam emitting instruments, mounted on the end portions. The measurement scale carriers are longitudinally spaced from each other. Longitudinally aligning the sighting instruments with the targets facilitates determination and correction of any damaged or misalignment condition in the vehicle frame and body. Comparison is made of the deviation, if any, in the parallelism of the lines of sight created by the longitudinally aligned targets and sighting instruments. Angular deviation of the lines of sight to symmetrical points on the vehicle frame and body tends to indicate damage or misaligned conditions.
